The global fluid management and visualization systems market was estimated to be worth $19,285.5 million in 2013. Fluid management systems are used to perform different functions such as fluid deficit monitoring, fluid irrigation and suction, fluid warming, pressure monitoring, fluid filtration, and fluid waste collection during endosurgeries. The fluid management systems are further classified into integrated systems and standalone systems which consist of fluid warming systems, fluid waste management systems, dialyzers, suction and irrigation systems, and insufflators.

North America was a major market for global fluid management and visualization systems in 2013 with a share of around 45% to 50% of the global market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.

The fluid management systems market in the APAC region is largely driven by the increasing healthcare spending by the government in China, growing number of minimal invasive surgeries in this region, and improving endoscopic infrastructure in India. Wide support for endoscopy-related research activities in Japan and establishment of training centers for endosurgeries in India, China, and Japan are also expected to fuel the market growth in the APAC region.

The market is mainly driven by increasing prevalence/incidences of gastrointestinal, laparoscopic, orthopedic, neurological, and nephrological diseases, requiring endosurgical procedures; growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries; cost-efficiency of these surgeries in terms of pre- and post-operation care costs and length of stay at hospitals; the technological advancements and breakthroughs in the field of fluid management systems; and favorable reimbursement scenarios in selected geographies.
